WP8 & WP11: Ceramic and Sensors & Actuators cluster meeting at Hanover Fair (16-20 April 2007)

The 4M Network of Excellence “Multi Material Micro Manufacturing” works with all materials and all applications. The Ceramic and Sensors & Actuators cluster would like to invite you to a meeting at the Hanover Fair the 18th of April.

We address this invitation especially to companies that work with components, sensor and actuators in ceramics for automotive, energy conversion, chemical process industry, medicine- and biotechnology.

The Ceramic and Micro-sensors and Actuators clusters work with sensor and actuator applications where ceramics materials are required. At the meeting we will present the projects we are working on and our plans for further activities.

This is an opportunity to meet and discuss with material and process experts, but also a range of application experts.
